An Unforgettable Experience - The Grape Escape Hot Air Balloon Adventure was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! From checking in with the friendly staff at the beautiful winery to being shuttled to our balloon, everything was organized and welcoming. The crew who prepared the hot air balloon for takeoff were beyond wonderful and friendly, despite all the hard work that goes into preparing everything. Their professionalism and positive attitudes made the experience even more enjoyable. And I can’t forget Pete, our pilot, he was absolutely the best! Pete shared the history of hot air ballooning, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and super friendly. Most importantly, he made all 14–15 passengers feel safe throughout the entire flight. I was honestly really scared at first, but Pete did an awesome job helping everyone feel comfortable and secure. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you so much, Grape Escape!!!

Tons of fun - We had a great time for my girlfriend’s birthday. We arrived early, checked in, and got assigned to Pete as he was on the birthday balloon. It was fun and we floated around Temecula but remember that you can only go where the wind allows. I wouldn’t go again because I’m not a big fan f heights but my girlfriend is already planning another ride. I also got the Bundt cake for her and it was delicious

Best Balloon ride ever - Amazing balloon ride! The whole experience from booking to the actual balloon ride was easy. The staff booking was very nice and Bill the balloon pilot was so much fun and gave us great info on the sites we were flying over. The ground crew was nice and helpful also. Would definitely recommend this company and can’t wait to go again.

Amazingly skilled pilot and team - Over it was a great experience. The pilot of the balloon was very informative and entertaining. He has piloted over 10,000 rides. It was a perfect morning and we had an hour in the air. One amazing fact is the pilot landed the basket directly on the trailer they use to transport it. That was a touch of skill I doubt you see much. The basket itself weighs around 1500 pounds. To set the scene the wind was light which makes a big difference. But remember that the only control the pilot has is heat to change the height of the balloon. The rest is the varying speed and direction of the winds at different altitudes. And while the they position the pickup and trailer for the pilot the last few minutes and maybe 60-100 feet left to go it is all the pilot. So think of this like parachuting into a chair placed a couple minutes before you land. A shout out also to the crew that supports the process. My one small criticism would be the photographer who made a relatively small attempt to sell his services for $250. Seemed rather expensive and it also seemed a bit too commercial. Like the photos you buy after a Disney ride. But then again the photographer has a living the make.

Cancelled tour without prior advice - I understand that this may be cancel for safety reasons & weather conditions but to inform you on the spot or like waited till 6 to inform you is unreasonable. I live in LA, my friend and I drove to Temecula at 3am just to be there on time. Waited and got cancelled. There is a weather forecast for 2 weeks how is it not possible to just inform the client atleast a night before like to advice that there might be a chance of cancellation for this package because of the weather, so atleast the customer can decide to go or not. With all the prices increasing now especially the gas?! For the gas alone we spent $70 for nothing plus other expenses there like for food.. which could have been avoided if there was an advice prior to the date.
